An exciting & close #SpanishGP took place #OnThisDay in 2008, pole sitter & fastest lap setter Kimi Rรคikkรถnen winning for Ferrari, his team-mate Felipe Massa 2nd, & McLarenโs Lewis Hamilton 3rd. Just 4.2sec covered the 3 of them by flag-fall.
You may have noticed that there was no new episode of #AndColossallyThatsHistory this week. Thatโs because @RWilliams1947 & I have recorded a bumper 3-part special on the subject of the tragedies of Imola โ94. Our 3 podcasts will be posted on Monday, Wednesday & Friday next week.
#LookUpLondon : itโs always nice to walk across Waterloo Bridge on a sunny day, which Iโve just done, strolling from one meeting to another. St Paulโs Cathedral is now dwarfed by the high-rises in the Square Mile, but I quite like the juxtaposition of old & new. #HistoryOnTheHoof
Remembering Jean Lucas, born #OnThisDay in 1917, a sports car racer who won at Spa in โ49, Montlhรฉry in โ50, & Orlรฉans, Bressuire & Nantes in โ52. Pic: he drove one #F1 GP, Monza โ55, when, as manager of รcurie Gordini, he subbed for Robert Manzon who withdrew in a fit of pique.
